After a one-day break from heavy rain, water-logged Houston braced for another round of precipitation Saturday from a lingering storm system along the western Gulf of Mexico.
The storm also has prompted Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards to declare a state of emergency because of the severe weather.
Houston, which sits just above sea level, has faced several days of heavy rains on extremely saturated ground.
Police rescued scores of stranded motorists since Thursday night from high water that even forced the shutdown of part of Interstate 10.
The storm knocked out power to nearly 160,000 customers on Friday, while Bush Intercontinental Airport diverted more than 62 flights, the Houston Chronicle reports.
